VC Redistributable ConfigMgr installation cannot be completed.

In trying to upgrade System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) to SP2 using the upgrade package, I received the following:

Fatal errorConfiguration Manager cannot continue because of the following error: Setup could not install the required component, VC Redistributable ConfigMgr installation cannot be completed.

After looking at the blog , I looked at the SCCM setup log.

My problem resulted in the fact that the vcredist_x86.exe file was already in the temp folder and would not overwrite it. I renamed/deleted the file in the temp folder and "viola", the SP2 upgrade ran without errors.

Advice: check the log, and clear out your temp directories. Hope this helps.

SCCM Distribution point error

Was receiving error in distmgr.log when trying to bring up a new Windows 2008 distribution point:

CWmi::Connect(): ConnectServer(Namespace) failed. - 0x8004100e



What I learned is that this apparently occurs when you havent't installed the IIS 6 Metabase compatibility feature and more importantly IIS 6 WMI compatiblity feature along with IIS. I had not done this.

Run server manager and as part of IIS feature list select the above two features and install it.

If you did not install these features, make sure you stop IIS Admin service first, or you will have errors.

Now the DP is running like is should!!!!
